The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Juan Pierre from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor leaguers and cash.

Of the $18.5 million left on Pierre's contract, the White Sox will pay $3 million in 2010 and $5 million in 2011, sources said.

The Dodgers will select two pitching prospects from a list furnished by the White Sox, a source told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The names on the list are all pitchers who could reach the big leagues by 2010, the source said.

Hope we got a couple of track suits and a bag of old shag balls in that blockbuster deal. I get that we needed to move him off the books but shit, didn't get much of immediate use in return and still have to pay a chunk of the tiny man's salary. Heard it explained as a favor from Colletti to JP for his patience and class after being displaced from his starting spot.

Per Charter cable letter I just received, effective January 12, I will now get Prime Ticket HD in HD (ironically, it used not to be in HD), as well as MLB Network in full HD. Christmas came early/Hanukkah was good for me!

The fans most disappointed by JP's departure?My kids. For some reason, they loved the guy. Could be because he's basically the same height as my 10 y-o. My 15 y-o daughter is slightly taller, I think.

Also, they dopn't remember suffering through 07 and 08 with him in the OF. Between him and Douche Mode, I was ready to become a huge tennis fan. Yes, I do remember defending him upon Manny's return, but seriously, his numbers don't warrant starting everyday with ManRam on the same team.
